ehh I tried it out a bit... xbox may be better for casual play but I prefer PC

it's nice to relax and play on console but for PoE I think PC will always be better

so many things are lacking on xbox, too many to list

I never tried such game on a console, and I dont see why anyone would chose to play on xbox if they can do on pc
but i would understand someone playing it on xbox if they just dont have the required computer for it

for certain builds yes...maybe... I dunno I cant think of one... maybe a miner? trapper? cuz auto lock on

but for a bow build ugh so aids... at least from when I played it (maybe things changed, but I doubt that)

trying to adjust the spread of your arrows pretty much impossible...
trying to aim the tornado shot directly behind a boss is also not going to happen...
some skills (e.g. totems) you can use left trigger plus a thumbstick to aim but that stops you from being able to move if i remember correctly

Yea things like totems are shit i forgot about that, i actually enjoyed bows though


my pc is bad though so maybe my opinion is bias, i also dont have a 50 key mouse and hate using a keyboard for skills

Haven't tried it mainly because I don't own an xbox and my pc runs the game perfectly.
I'd assume that people with lowend pcs might enjoy it on xbox.

I like the Xbox economy, items stay profitable for much longer since there are less players and no bots.

Two issues console has is desyncing, and not being able to be precise with movement skills.

Yep I understand

All comes down to how casually you want to play

Gotta take into account the whole spectrum from 100% fun to 100% efficient play and all those people who fall in between.

(Fun might not be the right word since 100% efficiency could be completely fun to someone)
